So after 2209 hours (or about 92 days) of gameplay over two editions it's all done with the quintuple, ending with the FA Cup final win over Liverpool and a bloody perfect save-ending win in the Champions League final against City at the Bernabaeu, oh yeah baby 🙂 Whilst I am sad to see the … Continue reading Heathens Global #12: final save review (aka the anatomy of an obsession)

I was absolutely raging with myself. These are the same terraces that were … Continue reading Heathens global #8: dissecting a Manchester massacre

🎵 .. a ray of hope flickers in the sky A tiny star lights up way up high All across the land, dawns a brand new morn This comes to pass when a save is born .. 🎵 (sort of) Johnny Mathis, 1979, three years after the Heathens signed up Penarol Paganos as their first … Continue reading Heathens Global #5: It’s alive!!!!
